It is your opportunity to reflect on the previous year and consider your priorities for the following year. The supporting information you submit allows you to demonstrate that you remain up to date and fit to practice – a requirement for revalidation. The appraisal discussion is usually much wider though and you can agree with your appraiser in advance what will be most useful for you to talk through. The discussion with your appraiser is confidential unless any concerns come up about patients safety or your own safety. In this case the appraisal is stopped so that these concerns can be addressed.
The summary you both agree after the appraisal does not need to include all the information discussed. It will be available to the responsible officer and appraisal lead as well as you and your appraiser. Nobody else has access to this unless you wish to share it with anyone else.
